Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like my pcm 2 fitted to my 03 tt has started playing up [ ] Tried it the other day and for whatever reason there was no volume, but if you pressed a directions button it would give a spoken message so the output was still working. It was then turned off and left for a while and all was fine but now its doing the same again, hit or miss whether you can hear any music/radio but everything else works fine. Anybody any ideas? Pretty sure this isn't covered by my porsche warranty so sitting here full of dread[&o]
